Let's solve this addition problem. We have 8960 and 8727, and we need to add them together.

Step 1: We'll start by adding the digits 0 & 7 in column 1 and get 7.

Step 2: We'll start by adding the digits 6 & 2 in column 2 and get 8.

Step 3: We'll start by adding the digits 9 & 7 in column 3 and get 16.
We'll write down the last digit 6 and carry the 1 to the next column.

Step 4: We'll start by adding the digits 8 & 8 in column 4 and get 17.
We'll write down the last digit 7 and carry the 1 to the next column.

So, 8960 + 8727 = 17687.
